Breakfast time in the river

 A little further on another breakfast

 The nearby park that is now off limits because of the reconstruction work on the banks of the river. The blue areas in front of the buildings are the current work areas.

 Usually the crows fly away when you get close, but this one stood its ground.

 The levee top walkway downriver from my apartment.

 The building is a love hotel but look at the traffic jam. I do not know where they are all going but there is a shopping center in that direction and further on you arrive at the ocean.

This is the traffic jam, looking toward Izumi Chuo

NOTE: We are gradually getting ready to move. Most of the things we want to get rid of are gone and all the closets have been cleaned out once, although some stuff we are taking was put back in them. For the next few days my wife is going to Fukuoka and doing the paperwork for renting our new abode. It is a complicated process here with financial and social checks as well as the usual large amount of paperwork. We still have lots to do both in our old apartment and with various services and the government. The recently changed the law so that I have to do the same processes as a Japanese person when I move. This means going to the Ward Office and telling that I am moving and then going to the new Ward Office and telling them that I have moved in. Also there people coming to give us estimates of the cost of shipping and we also have to negotiate all the utility shut offs. It will be a very busy two weeks.
